A satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular orbit of radius r. Its frequency is independent of its height above the surface of the Earth. a. TRUE b. FALSE

a. TRUE

Explanation:

When a satellite is launched to orbit around earth, it has to produce its own artificial gravity by performing rotations. The frequency of this rotation is given by the following formula:

f = √[ac/4πR²]

where,

f = frequency

ac = centripetal acceleration

R = Radius of the satellite

Therefore, it is clear from this formula that the frequency of rotation of the satellite is independent of its height above the surface of earth. So, the correct option is:

a. TRUE

answerscientific theory;

1.   what is light?

light is an electromagnetic wave visible to the human eye. 

2. what is a reflection?

the rebounding of a light ray when it hits a mirror.

3. what is the incident ray?

contacts the surface of an object.

4. what is the reflected ray?

bounces off a reflective surface.

5. what is the normal ray?

perpendicular to the surface of a mirror.

6. what is the angle of incidence?

an angle formed by the incident ray and the normal.

7. what is the angle of reflection?

an angle formed by the reflected ray and the normal.

8. what is refraction?

(bending.)

9. what is a converging lens?

bring together light rays that pass through.

10. what is a diverging lens?

spreads out light passing through.

11. focal point?

the real point where the refracted rays meet when the incident rays run parallel.
